Features
Debate Moment Detection
The hard take, the prediction with a name and a number in it, the moment one host cuts the other off — those rank above the segment intros, and each clip shows the 5-criterion score behind the call.
Speaker Tracking Reframe
On a multi-host panel the 9:16 frame follows whoever is talking, so a two-person exchange doesn't come back as a static crop of an empty chair.
Channel Monitoring
New uploads from your monitored sports channels get clipped on their own, usually within minutes — which matters when a take has a same-day shelf life.
Auto Captions
Word-synced captions burned into every clip, with caption text you can fix before posting when a player's name comes back spelled wrong.
How It Works
Add a sports commentary channel
Paste any YouTube channel URL — First Take, Jomboy Media, Pardon My Take, or any sports analysis channel you follow.
AutoClip surfaces the best takes
Each upload comes back as a ranked set of 25–50 second clips, ordered by how likely each one is to hold a scrolling viewer rather than by where it fell in the runtime.
Auto-post to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels
Clips publish across your connected accounts on the schedule you set — game reactions in the morning, predictions in the evening, whatever your audience is awake for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sports commentary channels work best with this tool?
The ones where the opinion is the content. First Take, Jomboy Media, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Pardon My Take, and The Athletic's channel all put a host on camera saying something arguable, which is the whole clip. Channels that lean on broadcast game footage are a worse fit — less because of the framing than because the rights aren't yours.
Can I clip sports commentary without getting flagged for copyright?
Commentary delivered to camera is the safe end of the pool; broadcast game footage is not, and no tool changes that. Clip channels whose value is the host talking, get permission if you're clipping someone else's channel for money, and keep game highlights out of it. AutoClip won't make a rights problem go away — it just works best on the material that doesn't have one.
How fast does AutoClip process new sports uploads?
New uploads are picked up on their own, usually within minutes, and a typical episode comes back in about 10–15 minutes. A three-hour show takes proportionally longer. For sports that's normally fast enough: the window on a post-game or trade take runs something like 6 to 24 hours, so being done inside the first hour is the goal, not being done inside the first minute.
What clip length is best for sports commentary on TikTok?
25 to 50 seconds. Long enough for the take plus the reaction it provokes, short enough that people stay for the payoff. First Take exchanges tend to sit at 30–45 seconds; a Jomboy breakdown usually needs 35–55 because the explanation is the point.
